Internet and phone communications in the area have gone down

Internet and phone communications in the area have gone down.

Israel says it’s expanding its ground operation in Gaza as it continues its bombing campaign. Hamas says its fighters have been battling Israeli soldiers in the north and centre of the Gaza Strip as an internet and phone service blackout continues. 

Also in the programme: police in the US state of Maine have confirmed that the suspect in Wednesday's mass shooting has been found dead;  and a BBC investigation has revealed how people smugglers selling illegal routes to Europe from Pakistan are luring potential customers in on social media.
 
Joining presenter Audrey Brown are Dalal Mawad, a Lebanese journalist based in Paris and Peter Neumann who is Professor of Security Studies at Kings College based in London.
